Democrats sweep major races as voters send Trump a message
NEW YORK — Voters up and down the East Coast delivered Democrats a sweep on Tuesday, electing candidates across the party’s ideological spectrum in a vivid show of discontent with President Donald Trump nearly a year into his second term.In Virginia, moderate former Rep. Abigail Spanberger turned in the strongest Democratic performance in the state’s recent history as she coasted to victory. And in New Jersey, another moderate, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, busted apart the coalition Trump and her Republican rival, former state lawmaker Jack Ciattarelli, had put together to close the Garden State’s gap in recent elections.In New York City, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s win marked the second time this year he’d defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — first in the Democratic...

Jawaharlal Nehru was India's first prime minister
In Mamdani's New York win, India's Nehru finds an echo
DELHI — "A moment comes but rarely in history when we step out from the old to the new," Zohran Mamdani told a jubilant crowd in New York on Wednesday — quoting India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's midnight speech of 1947, when the country awoke to freedom."When an age ends and the soul of a nation finds utterance. Tonight we step out from the old to the new," Mamdani continued.As Mamdani wrapped up his victory speech, the title track from the 2004 Bollywood hit Dhoom rang out across the hall — followed by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind, now pulsing with new meaning as New York's first Indian-origin mayor made history.Months earlier, Mamdani had turned Bollywood into campaign language, a nod to his South Asian roots — his mother is...

‘Mamdani Mubarak!’: New York’s South Asians celebrate the ascension of one of their own
NEW YORK — As Zohran Mamdani took the stage for his victory speech Tuesday night, the staff at Kabab King paused to listen. They recorded his speech and listened to his every word. The dining cutlery that was clanking away just moments before fell silent.“New York City, breathe this moment in,” Mamdani said.Locals had flocked to the mayor-elect’s go-to biryani spot in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of Queens hoping that he might show up — he has made the venue a frequent campaign stop — or just to celebrate the longtime neighborhood institution where biryani and kebabs are on virtually every table.“Most people think this is a hole in the wall, but he comes here,” says Lakshmi Shubha, a Roosevelt Island resident, who came to Kabab King with two of her friends.Shortly after...

Mamdani seals remarkable victory — but real challenges await
NEW YORK — Zohran Mamdani, the newly elected mayor of New York City, is notable in many ways. He will become the city's youngest mayor since 1892, its first Muslim mayor and its first mayor born in Africa.He entered the race last year with next to no name recognition, little money and no institutional party support.That alone makes his victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa remarkable.But more than that, he represents the kind of politician that many in the Democratic Party's left have been seeking for years.He is young and charismatic, with his generation's natural comfort with social media.His ethnicity reflects the diversity of the party's base. He hasn't shied away from a political fight and has proudly espoused...
